Fans of Daphne Gutierrez and Nicole Noselli’s Bruce line were probably happy with their second 'comeback' runway showing. The ladies delivered their highly coveted, sharp eye for details and polished, classically casual chic collection. Our favorites of this Spring 2008 outing were the soft flares and pleating on the gorgeously draped black jersey dresses, roomy pockets that are conveniently - and flatteringly- placed on nearly all garb… and the just right amount of shoulder padding to give some structure to elegantly tailored jackets and separates. The ikat print fabric, judiciously employed throughout the collection, lent some visual interest to a largely black/white/gray/red palette.
In sum? Very grown up...and correct without being prissy.
Hair and makeup were polished perfection.
The Bumble and Bumble team delivered, soft, sleek styles with a smooth, brushed off the face hair in a solid long braid, double looped… in the back. Soft flushed cheeks, subtle pink lips, and dewy skin gave the models a fresh appearance appearance.
